Colonel Lee et al may be in for a rude awakening. I live near the Mississippi flood plain. The NWS is predicting another 2.5-3 inches of rain in our area over the next couple of days. Every bit of that rain is going to be runoff and will end up in the Mississippi. Our soil is completely saturated. The flood plain has huge pools of standing water everywhere. I guess the only question is: How long does it take for our rain to find its way to Louisiana? I would guess it would take 6-7 days, which would put it right around the crest date that they predicted.
